A quality-of-life mod for PAYDAY 2 that outlines every gage courier package on the map in your color of choice — visible through walls, from anywhere — so package hunting stops being pixel hunting.
- Download the latest release (or use the green Code → Download ZIP button).
- Extract the
Smart Gage Package Highlightfolder into yourPAYDAY 2/mods/directory. - Configure under Options → Mod Options → Smart Gage Package Highlight.
Requires SuperBLT. Updates are delivered automatically through SuperBLT's updater.
- Colored outline on every gage package, all color variants (blue, green, purple, red, yellow), visible through walls.
- Fully custom color — RGB sliders, hex input, live preview, plus one-click presets (mod default yellow / PD2's classic look).
- Proximity mode (optional) — only highlight packages within a configurable range instead of the whole map.
- Toggle keybind — flip highlights on/off mid-heist without opening menus, with an optional on-screen notification (duration and color configurable).
- Collected packages disappear as normal — no stale glow, no clutter.
- Settings persist between sessions.
Options → Mod Options → Smart Gage Package Highlight
| Setting | What it does |

Safe in multiplayer — other players don't need the mod and are unaffected by it.
- Plays nice with the other Smart Highlight mods.
- 64-bit engine update: a compatibility update will follow when PAYDAY 2's 64-bit engine upgrade and its SuperBLT port release.
